warrengtype New member May 4, 2005 #2 The deskside workstation delivers a peak performance of 230 gigaflops. Click to expand... Gigaflops... is that anything like a jiggawatt? How many gigaflops would it take to power up the flux capacitor? What the hell is a gigaflop? Also, if anyone actually has "100k to blow", well then blow it this way, partner. Blow it this'a'way. Fo' real though.

MadAudio Damned if I do May 4, 2005 #3 Wouldn't a fan be more efficient? I mean after blowing on the computer for a few minutes, you'd start to get dizzy. Plus I don't think it would keep it cool enough anyway.
